Also, Capulets & Montagues: They both die (but she dies twice)

Did Puccini or Verdi write any operas without a final death scene? I am really asking, I like some operas, but I am very ignorant about most of it.
I am surprised that the state governments of Florida and Texas allow 'Madame Butterfly' be performed. On the other hand, if it is in Italian how would they know just how un-American it is?

If I recall correctly, Verdi wrote a few comic operas--Falstaff come to mind as one i saw and I think no one died. Not sure about Puccini. But the tragic operas are what packs them in.

Puccini wrote Gianni Schicchi, which starts with a death scene, so I guess that counts?

And who could ever forget this classic?......

I’m hijacking this thread cuz of the title.
